PARIS, FRANCE
A. HESSE/J. Gajdosova 2-6, 6-3, 6-2
THE MODERATOR: Questions in French.
Q. I saw you during the first set, and you were upset. Things weren't going as you wanted. Finally you won the match. So what happened? AMANDINE HESSE: I was very tense during the first set. I found it difficult to, you know, get the ball. She was really forcing me. She forced me to force myself. I tried to relax in the second set, stay focused on each point, be there. I really fought hard on each point. It paid off.
Q. How did last year's match against Meusburger help you? AMANDINE HESSE: I think my last year's game really helped me for this year. I tried not to get too much adrenaline, and then I had the public to support me. I tried to stay focused. I really did my best to manage the third set, especially compared to last year, once again.
Q. I am getting the impression you have changed somewhat. You're more focused and more patient. You're really building your game. Is this something you've worked on? AMANDINE HESSE: Yes, I have worked on this a lot. I think she was more aggressive today than I was, so I had to adjust my game. I tried to be patient. First set I was playing along the lines and it didn't work, so I tried to adapt my game to hers and play more crosscourt. I really tried to play solid.
Q. When you beat someone who is 50th seed, you can beat anyone, right? AMANDINE HESSE: I have no limits. I will do my very best on each match, and we will see if it pays or not.
Q. You were talking about the public. There was a lot of noise. People were cheering you up, supporting you. Did you come with people? Did you bring people? AMANDINE HESSE: Yes, I came with my family. I have my sisters, my brother-in-law, my aunts, nephews, and I think they cheered me up indeed. But they were not the only ones. I think the entire French public was there to support me. Nonetheless, I tried to stay focused.
Q. Will they be here for the second round? AMANDINE HESSE: Well, they may have to go to work. We'll see.
